Easter Gift Guide

Easter is one of MamatheFox’s favorite holidays. Celebrating the gift of salvation which is obtained from Christ is celebrated and remembered during this holy time. Jesus died on a Friday, taking the sins of the world with Him into the grave, then conquering death and rising again to life on the 3rd day, Easter Day! John 3:16 tells us that “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.” Happy Easter to all

 

 

Finding the right items to put inside all those Easter Baskets and Easter eggs can seen daunting and time consuming. This year MamatheFox found a great collection of products to place in your Easter Baskets for children ages 0-18

MamatheFox’s daughter loves all things girlie, and that includes makeup. Being a younger girl I dont want to encourage her to over-do her makeup and use too much.

By gifting our daughter Babo Botanical Lip Tint this Easter (can fit in larger sized plastic eggs) we are giving her a product that I dont have to worry about what is inside of it. Babo Botanicals products are designed for the most sensitive skin, from babies to adults and are 100% gluten, soy and dairy free. They contain SPF 15 and are rich in anti-oxidants & vitamins.

Rainbow Scratch Paper Art Kit

One of MamatheFox’s favorite things when I was a young girl was getting a fresh piece of rainbow scratch paper. It was a treat, and I only ever got it at school from my art teacher.

Small children seem to gravitate towards touch and feel style books. Very small children, ones who have not yet learned to read, can engage physically with a book and understand a connection between them and the story. By feeling the soft, rough, fuzzy, bumpy textures they can help connect the words to the picture and begin to develop a love of books. This book features a bunch of animal families getting ready for bed. You can cuddle with your little one as you read this book together and feel secure in God’s love.

Big Love

Big Love is a children’s book that features a moody Baboon as the protagonist. The savanna of Africa where he roams is  dry and desolate.  Hungry, miserable, and mean animals seek only their own interests. Baboon watches as, one by one, Rhinoceros destroys Termite’s castle in his race to find food, Hare chooses not to share food with her family, and Lion steals food from his pride. This new book’s beautiful message makes it a wonderful gift for those who want to build a loving WE community–from home to school, neighborhoods, church, or travel. If people can begin to encourage one another to pursue their passions–with kindness, sharing, listening, and care–we can overcome anything and achieve extraordinary dreams together.
